As Bradley Holt has a new post to his blog about the newly-released website for the Vermont Code Camp conference happening September 11th at the University of Vermont.

Last yearâ€™s event was a big success with 85 attendees and 19 sessions and this one promises to be even bigger and better! The second annual Vermont Code Camp will be a full day event bringing together technology community members, students, and professionals from around Vermont and beyond.

Topics for this year include .NET, PHP, Ruby, Python, Java and more. The sessions list hasn't been announced yet, but you can keep track of the schedule page to see when they are. There's no charge for the full day event but you do need to register if you'd like to attend.

Bradley Holt has a new post to his blog for people in the Burlington, Vermont area - an announcement about a PHP picnic that's been planned for August 15th.

The Burlington, Vermont PHP Users Group invites you to join us for a picnic at Oakledge Park. All are welcome but weâ€™d like to extend a special invitation to members of other local technology user groups. Please bring a dish and/or beverages (potluck-style). If youâ€™re not sure what to bring, you can ask on the mailing list. Please note that beer or soda may only be in cans or plastic, no glass and no kegs. Parking is available for $5 per vehicle ($8 for non-residents). The park is also accessible via the Burlington Bike Path.

There's no fee for registration but you'll have to pay for the parking but it's also accessible to the Burlington Bike Path.
